MC writes, "I've been watching a bunch of stuff on my Instant queue today, and I noticed that several hours ago that it was in a different order than how I had set it. Kind of a pain in the ass as I keep it ordered so I can find things easier. I know I don't really "need" an Instant queue anym...

Reader Matt writes, "My Roku, while in Netflix, lost its activation. I am hardwired into my network. I have tried multiple times now to activate and either I cannot get a code, or the code won't take or it says it takes on the computer, but never activates on the Roku. Are others having this pro...
